This course is designed for children in grades 3 to 5 who have an interest in improving their drawing and painting skills. It’s an ongoing program focused on teaching the essential techniques for both drawing and painting while offering supportive guidance for kids to create their own artwork.

The painting and drawing for children in school grades 3 to 5 course takes Melbourne Art Class’s focus on fundamental skills and creates a program suitable for the age group. You can see artwork produced in previous classes here.
